The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 35R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was conducted from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 60 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 292 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. The touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down gradually and maintain a stable descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach and landing phases. This is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 24°. This meant that there was no significant crosswind or headwind component to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,424 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase and had managed to slow it down gradually.
Overall, the Cessna 208B aircraft's landing on runway 35R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient landing procedures. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design specifications. The landing score of 98.7% is a testament to the pilot's high level of proficiency and the aircraft's reliability.
